Footage showing the moment a mob of protestors took over the USA's Capitol building has been shared online.
The video, which was first posted on TikTok, shows scenes from what has been nicknamed 'Capitol Has Fallen' on Twitter.
The mob can be seen easily pushing through the barriers and the limited police presence. Many were waving American and pro-Trump flags while chanting and attacking the police.

The crowd can also be heard cheering in excitement when they spill past the police and into the building disrupting the Electoral College Vote.
Security forces fired tear gas in a four-hour-long operation to clear the Capitol and police said at least one person was shot and killed.
